Cleaning and care

Danger of burning and scalding
on hot components or by hot liquids.
Components can become very hot
during operation. Touching hot
components can cause burning. The
liquids and steam dispensed are very
hot and can cause scalding.
Keep well away from the area
underneath the spouts when hot
liquids and steam are being
dispensed.
Always allow the coffee machine to
cool down before cleaning it.
Please be aware that water in the
drip tray can also be very hot.

Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the coffee machine.
It is important to clean the machine
regularly, as the used coffee grounds
will soon go mouldy. Milk residues can
go off and can block the milk pipework.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour all
surfaces. All surfaces of this
appliance are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass
surfaces could cause a breakage in
certain circumstances.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately. To protect the machine
and surrounding surfaces from
damage, make sure you remove any
spillages or splashes of descaling
agent immediately.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents (unsuitable for cleaning the
appliance front)
– stainless steel cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaners (unsuitable for
cleaning the appliance front)
– glass cleaning agents
– cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
